The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I do think we need to have a controlled process for getting in

There *was* a controlled process--but not any more. Spankee did not like it because he is not capable of understanding how--or why--such systems work. He does NOT comprehend "ability" other than as defined as "being RICH". Note that HE is relatively impoverished, and, combined with his lack of comprehension of virtually everything, he can never learn.

The ag sectors will get hit pretty hard. Remember what happened in GA when the migrants left the state? Unpicked crops rotted in the fields--and mega-losses by Magat farmers. Be interesting to see what happens in the near future, when crop-picking season arrives. No migrants = no picking = repeat of last time. Do you think this year is any different?
